Another "almost" race although I actually did enoy it.
Couldn't get a handle on the rear end in practice and qually and ended up near the tail of the field. Car was a nightmare on cold tyres and the back just slithered away from me during the pace lap, putting me virtually to the back of the field. The good news was that the spin turned out to be an excellent way to warm the tyres, and pretty soon I was fighting my way back up the order.
Once into the race the car was transformed - it's a complete mystery to me why it handled so much better in the race but it really was a lot nicer to drive, with even tyre wear and temperatures.
It was
almost a stunning drive up to 6th place, ahead of JPS and Lazlow. Almost, that is, but not quite - on the final lap I blinked at the wrong moment braking for turn 1 and, yep, round she went, into the kitty litter
and letting Lazlow, and worse still my nemesis JPS, past.
Pity about all the CTDs and discos - by the sound of it half the field need to sort the cooling out on their graphics cards!
